Reminded of this quote from Cathy O’Neil’s book Weapons of Math Destruction: “[weapons of math destruction] tend to punish the poor (…) The privileged, we’ll see time and again, are processed more by people, the masses by machines” But then for AI slop creation … Listen to Catharina Doria 👇 👌 💞

Good example in Empire of AI with psychosis. They internally predicted vulnerability among users and allowed it anyway. Another example with Meta and their AI policy for children. They have internal experiments showing these bots solicit kids as young as 8 and the legal team approved it anyways.

So. People *in* academics and specialists, educational experts in cognitive functions like learning: - AI > mweh, just don’t Marketeers, people *outside* academics, toolmen, happy promoters: - AI > yes, embrace and force feed others

"Safeguard current agreements that prioritize people and nature."

I don't know how many times this needs to be said, but apparently a lot: If you are not in a position to verify the accuracy of some synthetic text, the synthetic text is not useful/has a high potential to be misleading. This is one of those cases.

I finally cut a clip of what multiple people told me was their favorite joke from this set.

Toolman using ‘AI’ for research: because it is not good, I invented a way to make it less bad. If AI was tobacco, the filter cigarette was invented.

People who adore the LLM-machine, that by design has no concern for truth, must have no concern for truth

De Logtenberg VVD-duck test. If it walks like a VDD’er, if it quacks like a VVD’er, if it swims like a VVD’er, it is probably a VVD’er.

cool pincer movement if you truly grasp: AI & any concept relating to it like so-called guardrails are a scam in the deepest sense like a perpetual motion machine or a quija board — and not only a scam like a pyramid scheme which is a possible way to make money if you are first in first out 🧵 1/n

I'll also repeat this: the toy is a displacement for a parent or guardian because it's the parents' job to shield or not a child from this and other content. A company's product will never factually replace the true role of a mother, but they can and will try. bsky.app/profile/oliv... 8/n

Logtenberg Media was zo happy dat hij een man op een vrouwonvriendelijke woord kon betrappen voor het meer algemene ‘leugenaar’. Maar goed, hoe noem je een zelfgenoegzame man die vrouwen laatdunkend en smalend aankijkt? Je mag me ook een DM sturen als je denkt ooit informateur te worden.

Social psychologists can know better than anyone in psychology that we do not want to let QRPs ruin trust in our science, again. “Ultimately, contemporary AI is research misconduct.”

LiveAI demo fails on the first prompt at Meta Connect 2025. #Meta #AI #LiveAI

As I've said before, it'd be nice if those in govt who were involved in drafting generative AI guidance and regulation actually understood the tech and went into it with their eyes open.
